In a world fractured by speed, silence, and misunderstanding, what does it mean to truly listen?
At the age of 80, Lian Henriksen reflects on a lifetime of mothering, grandmothering, soul-searching, and circle-keeping. Through stories woven across generations and galaxies — from family wounds to spiritual awakenings — she invites us into a quiet revolution: one rooted in remembrance, radical honesty, and the courage to lead ourselves.
More than a memoir, A Listening Grandmother is a gentle offering to all who walk between worlds — those tending to ancestral faultlines, raising light-filled children, or simply longing to live with greater presence. This is a book for listeners, question-keepers, and those who carry a quiet hope for healing.
“This book exists to illuminate the hidden line that threads us to those who came before — and to those yet to come... It’s about learning to navigate the current, guided by a single, quiet decision: to evolve, forgive, and simply listen — because the future just might depend on it.”
— Danielle Brown, Author, USA
“I wish my mom understood me the way this book does.”
— Karyl Faye Bragado, Beta Reader, Philippines
“It is by serendipitous fate — a gift from your soul, transcribed through the profound heart and wisdom of the Silver Crone from Denmark — that you find this book in your hands. It gently whispers and calls you forth, in the most grandmotherly of ways, to remember that you are so much more than you think you are. I read the final chapter, but its resonance echoed through my whole being. A truly magical and transformational read.”
